About

The Rice Design Alliance (RDA) includes members from diverse backgrounds, professions, and vocations, including architects and designers, city planners and developers, real estate agents, community activists, writers, artists, and civic-minded individuals. The common thread is a commitment to enhancing the quality of life within our community through learning, discussion, and innovation. We are a program of Rice Architecture, and the alliance includes scholars from the University of Houston and other institutions. Support for RDA comes from individuals, corporate membership, and foundations, including the Houston Arts Alliance and the National Endowment for the Arts.
